A GREEK coastguard has been accused of trying to sink an inflatable dinghy packed with Syrian migrants in the Aegean sea.

Video released by the Turkish Institute of Public Diplomacy shows a man on board a ship bearing the Greek coast guard livery seemingly trying to puncture the life raft as it floats alongside the vessel using a pole.

The boat is later seen half-sunk with people on board desperately waving for help from Turkish Coast guards.

The video was shot by the Turkish coast guard on November 12, according to Reuters, and is believed to have been seen by the head of the Greek coast guard, Vice Admiral Athanasios Athanasopoulos.
